SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Visual front-end

  • modified ResNet18-3D model for processing lip videos
  • They make three changes to the standard Pytorch implementation:
    • 1) adjusting the first stem layer's convolutional
      • kernel size(=7), stride(=2), and output channels(=32) w/o maxpooling
    • 2) altering the output channels of the residual blocks
      • {32, 64, 128, 256}
    • 3) removing all temporal downsampling operations in the residual blocks.
  • The model ultimately transforms lip image sequences into feature embedding sequences through a spatial global average pooling layer

Learnable embeddings

Target-lip embeddings (Elip=[e1,...,eN]TRN×DE_{lip}=[e_1, ..., e_N]^T \in R^{N \times D})

  • Represent the relative identities of input lips and corresponding voice activities
  • relationship between the movements of the lips in the input videos and the corresponding voice activities
  • Additionally, learnable modality-type embeddings are initialized to differentiate between encoded acoustic and visual features.

Modality-type embeddings (Emod=R1×DE_{mod}=R^{1\times D})

  • Help distinguish between the sound (acoustic) features and the visual features (lip movements) in the input data
  • These embeddings help the model better understand and process the information from both the audio and visual aspects of the videos

The authors propose a new approach for handling positional embeddings by incorporating target-lip embeddings, modality-type embeddings, and sinusoidal positional embeddings.

They use two modality-dependent linear layers

to map audio-visual features to the exact dimension of positional embeddings.

Conformer

  • Inputs
    • Sum of aligned feature sequences and positional embeddings

TS-VAD

  • Inputs
    • acoustic features and speaker enrollments (e.g., x-vectors).with the order of enrollments determining the target-speaker voice activities.
  • Target-speaker embeddings are replaced with the new target-lip embeddings on the decoder side, and decoder embeddings are set to zeros
    • lip videos are used as both visual features and enrollments
      • since there are no off-screen speakers in the competition database
profile
Currently pursuing my Ph.D. in GIST, I am deeply intrigued by the field of speaker diarization and committed to making meaningful contributions to it.
